Having problems with your Canon Digital Cameras ?

I have a Canon A720. I take a few pictures & then it just freezes & won't do anything more. So I assume it needs new batteries. It may take a few more & freezes again. Is that fixable?

Answers :

Base from the description of your problem the camera here really needs a new battery and for the fix of the problem, what you can do is to reset or restore ca,era to its default settings from the camera Menu and then check if that corrects the problem.

But after doing those and still same problem this camera has some mechanical problem and yes it can still be fix and you can take it to camera repair near your place to have the camera fix.

I have a Nikon D70 (with a 18-55mm lens) and have always used it in Auto mode. It suddenly stopped working in auto mode...won't take the picture at all. Did I break the lens??? If I tip the camera back and forth the lens will move (zoom in and out) by itself...don't remember it doing that before??? Fixable or do I need a new lens?

Hi tina549, do any of your other lens auto focus? If so then it may be this lens. If they do not then look on the right side of the lens mount (with camera facing you) there is the AF and M switch. Something to try is clean the electrical contacts on ...

I just got a Canon Advantix Elph LT260 at a thrift store and it was working fine. I tried to adjust the date and time and now I can't get it to take pictures. I did press a button that i assume rewound the film. Do I need to buy new film or is there a button that I can press to make it work? Also there is a button that has a flag and a pencil pictured above it. What is this button for? Thank you.

Need to take photos outside but it is overcast. I need to make sure the details of the subject is absolutely clear. What would be the best setting? I have an OptiE10 6MP. It takes great pictures outside in the sun but this is new ground for me.

Taking pictures with maximum level of details while it is overcast weather is much easier than in sunny weather, where you need to look for so-called "open shadow" to limit overexposure.\015\012\015\012Depending on your taste, the best possible ...

My camera was working fine. itook and downloaded pictures with no problem. The next day I tried to turn it on it didnt turn on. I charged the battery and put it back in the camera still it didnt come on. I even bought a brand new battery charged it and nothing happened. I need to know id it is fixable or I just need to buy a new camera

The mode dial doesn't seem to work. The camera is stuck on the high speed sequential setting. When we select iauto, it takes one picture and then freezes. When we select the camera option on the mode dial, it takes 13-15 pictures in succession and then freezes. The pictures are taken without the button being pressed. We need to power off to change modes. The camera did work for a little while.

Base from the description of your problem what we can do here first to correct the problem is to reset or restore the camera settings to its default from the camera MENU. Then once you done that check if its working fine now. ...

I have a Bushnell Trail Sentry game camera and it will no longer take pictures. When I enter my code the number 5860 appears on the screen, then the word "snap" and then letters SLP appears and nothing happens. I have put new batteries in it and a new memory card and still it will not take a picture.
What do I need to do now?

My lens on my new (4 months old) Polaroid camera digital won't fully retract. The camera then won't shut down and it's burning out the batteries. Polaroid !1236 I assume it's still under warranty. Where can I take it to get it fixed? THanks
I bought it at Big Lots and they won't take it back becuase it's been 30 days. I bought the camera in December 2010. Jused it once in Janaury for a two week vacation. It worked fine then. Just discovered this new problem.

We purchased the cannon and we started having issues taking pictures. the following issues have ocurred:
1) When we take a picture the flash flickers and the picture doesn't take. 2) When we take a picture the entire camera freezes and everything turns black. The picture looks fuzzy when the camera unfreezes.
We purchased the camera via Diner Club points..if we need to return the camera where do we return for replacement? do we contact diner's?

I'm going to assume the pictures you have on the camera are not worth keeping. I'm going to assume you have the owners manual so the first thing I'd like your to do is check to make sure the SD card is unlocked here is a diagram. ...

Our new Moviepix Kids digital video camcorders are freezing up. Both camers have the same problem of freezing up after operating in one or another mode. For example: If we take a picture... it freezes up... if we make a movie... it freezes up. We can not switch from one mode to another or even use the power button to turn the camera off. HELP!!

Format problem I have had my camera for about a year now and the other day I had put my memory card into my laptop (lost usb cord so I just take the memory card out of my camera and plug it into my laptop). Upon doing that it told me I needed to format my disk and I said no, so then I take out the memory card and I put it back into my camera and my camera tells me I have to format my disk, so reluctantly I did. Well now it will let me take about three pictures then it will freeze and wont do any

The first thing you should do is get a new USB lead.\015\012\015\012while your waiting for your new lead:\015\0121)find out if your laptop crashes with that card, or with any cards/devices.\015\012\015\0122)try putting t ...

I have a new Canon A3300 IS and a new SanDisk SDHC 4 GB memory card. It's worked fine for a few days, and now suddenly, I get a "Memory card error" message, and the camera won't work. I tried reformatting the memory card, but the camera refuses to do it. What happened? I assume I need a new memory card, but I'm afraid that the problem will occur again.

Insert the card into a card reader and format it on the computer. See if that works. Format using FAT32 as its more reliable than the FAT it uses by default. If the camera supports FAT32 you can expect it to last atleast a year before you need to for ...

Blank LCD screen on shooting mode, but does show settings. Will not take pictures. Replaying mode works, shows pictures taken before screen went blank. New batteries. What is going on??? Is it fixable?
I bought the Canon PowerShot A570 IS. I don't know if it is me or the camera but my LCD screen doesn't stay on. I can take a phote, the photo will then display on the LCD for 2 seconds BUT then the LCD goes blank, all i can see are the menu options. If I take a pic while LCD is blank my pic's

The Display button manually turns the LCD display on or off to save batteries. If you accidentally had turned the LCD off, It should only take one press of the button to turn it back on and leave it that way. As such, it's not you but the camera. ...

Cleaned is not the problem. Most of the time it is poor battery. Just becuase the battery says it is charged means nothing. These cameras take a great deal of power compared to other AA devices. ...

My fujifilm finepix camera gets stuck when i look through my pictures, so when i go to my library, my whole camera gets stuck and i have to take the battery out to turn it off. it still takes pictures, and it doesnt get stuck with picutures i take without the memory card...do i need a new memory card??? please help. thanks ^_^

The card is probably defective. \015\012But before buying a new card, try to format the card in the camera. Make sure you have saved all images first. Formatting will "reset" the card and delete all images.\015\012To format the card: Menu ...

I am inserting a new memory card into the camera but it is still saying memory full. what do I need to do to be able to take new pictures?

Lens stuck My camera won't register to open the lens. I don't know how it was before, but the screen is completely black and it won't take pictures. If I open the lens manually, the screen shows the image, but obviously I cannot take a picture with my thumb across half the lens. Is this fixable, or should I get a new camera?

Yes it is fixable. if there is a friction in the movement of the lense cover blades this happens. If it is due to fine sand or dust try using a soft brush with a rubber pump fitted at the back so that it cen blow the sand off the camera. The problem ...

Continuous shooting I'm new to this so bare with me. I just got my Nikon D60 and I want to shoot pictures in continuous mode. I set it on manual, go into the menu and change it to continuous. I rotate the dial so it changes the shutter speed but when I take pictures it's just a black screen. As a matter of fact any time I try to take a picture in M it's just black. I'm hoping that there is just a setting I need to change and there's not something wrong with my camera. Thanks.

Hey man. Im not sure how new you are but basically i think your problem is you need to decrease the shutter speed to around 1/200-1/250 of a second and increase the apeture to around f10/12 and see if that works. If your operating at a high shutter s ...

Have a Runway Digital Camera Kit (82690) that I can't find information for on your website. The snap button broke and fell inside of the camera the first time used. Could not take it back to Wal-Mart because I bought in November as an X-mas present and it was past 30 days. Need to contact company for a replacement. What do I need to do to get a new camera. I have the original purchase receipt.

Dark photos I am a new Nikon user and have the D80. This is way more camera than I will ever need. I can not take pictures without them being dark not even in the auto mode. This is inside or outside I have two lenses and have switched them and it's still dark. I was able to change the exposer to get them lighter but would think you could take pictures in auto that would be fine.

\015\012Be sure camera is set to the Green auto, not the A (A= aperture priority)\015\012Be sure your white balance is on auto.\015\012Be sure your EV is set to 0\015\ ...

I have a Cannon PowerShot A75 and when I try to take pictures the screen is black and there are lines running across the screen. It will not take pictures. I have charged the batteries and I have put new batteries in and it did not solve the problem. Please tell me what I need to do to fix my camera. There is not a Canon dealer near me. Thanks, Brenda Chapman

This sounds like it might be a defective CCD imager. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. Shipping is via UPS and FEDex This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please check the following two ...

Pink pictures the other day.... I was using my camera and it started showing lines through the image, the image quality was getting worse and worse. I figured needs new batteries. So I put new batteries in it and now it takes pink pictures! How strange my evergreen pictures look in fushia color! I tried and tried for a couple of weeks, I checked all the settings, even took the batteries out and restarted, but still pink! all shades of pink! Here's where it really gets odd, I got my camera

Hi all -- This is a physical problem with the way the lens is seated. I didn't figure this out myself; I was told it by a camera repair shop guy who also owned a 945 and had the same problem. Basicly, you adjust the lens, relative to the body, by d ...

My camera is a new purple polaroid 1834, I got it for Christmas. I tried to take a picture the other day and it took one, and then shut down with the lens still out. It will not turn on, and everytime I press the power button a green light flashes and it beeps three times, but nothing else happens. I have tried replacing the batteries with brand new ones..still nothing. I've tried to batteries and everything.What is going on and what can I do to fix it? Is it fixable?

It is fixable but best thing to do is take it back to where you got it for a replacement. Or send it in to Polaroid the lens gears are stuck and the zoom motor sounds like it has gone out. If you have no sucess doing that then let me kno ...
